MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
For the sake of today’s discussion, though, let’s pretend that Biden’s ability to carry out his office for the next six months is not substantially affected and so the decision of whether or not to resign becomes purely (meaning politically) prudential.
It will be an unprecedented hand-off to the next generation of Democrats combined with a high degree of uncertainty as to whether or not she can deliver the goods.
Republicans will spend every day arguing that Biden should be removed via the 25th Amendment and Harris will have to answer that charge every time she talks to the media.
For starters, having President Harris traveling on Air Force One and standing behind the presidential seal would instantly solidify her gravitas.
It would create even more attention for her and give her the ability to dominate pretty much every news cycle from here to the election.
Vice President Harris would be neither, trapped in a sour spot of being on the hook for everything voters dislike about the Biden administration without the benefits of being battle tested.
